Completely Impossible ..., say analysts on claims that Donald Trump's T1 smartphone will be made in America; add: Where are ...
The Trump Organization says that the entire device, which costs $499 is assembled in the US, but there is no information on when it will hit stores. Earlier this week, the Trump Organization, owned by the US President Donald Trump, announced the launch of the T1, a gold-colored smartphone priced at $499. The smartphone, which will run on Google's Android operating system, is being promoted as 'built in the United States.' However, industry experts have cast doubt on these claims, suggesting the phone is likely designed and manufactured by a Chinese company. The announcement comes as President Trump has intensified scrutiny on global smartphone supply chains, particularly targeting companies like Apple to move manufacturing to the U.S. amid threats of tariffs on imported devices. Francisco Jeronimo, vice president at International Data Corp. told CNBC that it is 'completely impossible' for the T1 to be fully designed and manufactured in the U.S. He and other analysts, including Blake Przesmicki of Counterpoint Research, believe the phone is likely produced by a Chinese original device manufacturer (ODM), which designs and builds products to the specifications of other companies. Jeff Fieldhack, research director at Counterpoint, added that the U.S. lacks readily available local manufacturing capabilities for smartphones. Experts also warn that the US-based smartphone production would be a costly and time-intensive endeavor, likely increasing prices significantly. How and where to get the components The T1's specifications further highlight its reliance on global supply chains. The device features a 6.8-inch AMOLED display, likely sourced from South Korean companies Samsung or LG, or Chinese manufacturer BOE. Its 50-megapixel camera is expected to use image sensors from Japan's Sony, a dominant player in the market. The phone's processor is likely to come from Taiwan's MediaTek or Qualcomm, with manufacturing based in Taiwan. While US-based Micron could supply memory components, other suppliers like Samsung may also be involved. 'Even with local manufacturing, the T1 will rely on imported components,' Fieldhack noted, underscoring the global nature of smartphone production.

Trump mobile phone: Specifications, plans, carrier, and all details — is it Made in China?
Is Donald Trump's smartphone really made in the USA? Live Events Can the U.S. actually manufacture a phone like this? What happened during the phone's preorder launch? What are the specifications of the Trump mobile? FAQs (You can now subscribe to our (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel The "T1," Donald Trump 's much-anticipated mobile phone, is making headlines. Reports indicate that the advertised "Built in America" claim for Trump's new T1 smartphone appears to be say that the rollout has problems and that the company made false claims about how it was made. There were also a lot of technical problems with Trump Media 's preorder to reports, the new "All-American" smartphone that President Donald Trump's family is selling is made in China Apple Insider claims that although the base model of the device, which does not have the gilded trim or Trump branding, is only $169 on Amazon, the recently launched Trump Mobile is charging $499 for a gold iPhone lookalike, as quoted in a report by The Daily president's sons unveiled the new phone, which they called the "T1," promising that it would be made in the US. Eric Trump, however, had to quickly quell hopes that the first Trump phones would be made in the president's second-born son told right-wing podcaster Ben Shapiro that "all the phones can be built in the United States of America eventually." "We must return manufacturing to the United States." Thus their motto is, "Built for America by Americans. Do it cheaper. Do it better.'This intensified skepticism about Trump Mobile's ability to manufacture a smartphone in the US by August, despite the promise of delivery to fact that no significant smartphone is made in America was brought up recently when Trump threatened to impose high tariffs on tech firms like Apple that produce goods in device was "designed and built in the United States," according to the Trump Organization's press release, and the company's website boasts that it operates on "All-American Performance.""Manufacturing for the new phone will be in Alabama, California, and Florida," the Trump Organization told The Wall Street Insider reported that the T1 phone might be modified in the United States. "It was definitely not created or put together in the United States."When MAGA fans buy the T1, they might not be aware that they are purchasing an item that was produced to other reports, Trump Media blew its rollout. The Journal was among those who doubted its ability to produce a smartphone manufactured in the United States in a timely only Chinese manufacturers, such as Xiaomi and Oppo, have comparable hardware at that price point, the paper stated that it is "possible even plausible that these phones would initially come from China."Since the current state of technology makes it impossible to produce the necessary components, Tinglong Dai, a professor at Johns Hopkins University, estimates that it will take five years to build the infrastructure for manufacturing a smartphone in America, as per a report by The example, 404 Media reported that when they tried to preorder the device, their reporter's card was undercharged for the $100 deposit and they received an error message before they could provide an address for the product's eventual to the Trump Media website, the T1 will have a 6.8-inch screen, which is marginally bigger than the biggest Apple iPhone to date. In addition, it has a bright AMOLED screen, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a larger battery than any claims, it is reportedly being manufactured in China rather than the United States, at least for the time reported website crashes, incorrect charges, and missing shipping information after paying deposits.

China's spy agencies are investing heavily in AI, researchers say
Chinese spy services have invested heavily in artificial intelligence to create new tools to speed analysis, provide early warning of threats and potentially help shape operational plans during a war, according to a new report. China, like the United States, hopes that artificial intelligence will improve the efficiency and accuracy of its intelligence analysis, allowing it to collect more intelligence and analyze it faster and more cheaply. The study, by Recorded Future's Insikt Group, which studies cybersecurity and other threats from nation-states, terrorists and criminal groups, comes amid rising concern about how Chinese spy agencies will use AI to power covert actions, as Western intelligence services also embrace the technology. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Neuropatia incomodando durante o dia? idosos estão usando isso para aliviar os sintomas. A arte do herbalismo Undo The researchers reviewed patent applications by the People's Liberation Army, publicly available contracts and other material to better understand how China's military and intelligence services have invested in artificial intelligence. Recorded Future found that China is probably using a mix of large language models, technology that can analyze huge amounts of data and communicate its results in human language. Meta and OpenAI are thought to be among the American models that China is using, along with Chinese models from DeepSeek, Zhipu AI and others. Live Events The CIA and other U.S. spy agencies have stepped up their use of artificial intelligence, both to improve analytic work and to help overseas operatives remain undiscovered. One tool developed by the CIA is designed to help analysts assess the positions of foreign leaders, creating virtual versions of the officials that are powered by artificial intelligence. Discover the stories of your interest Blockchain 5 Stories Cyber-safety 7 Stories Fintech 9 Stories E-comm 9 Stories ML 8 Stories Edtech 6 Stories Former U.S. intelligence officials have said China's large population has long given it a potential advantage over U.S. spy agencies, but artificial intelligence could even the playing field. Generative AI models can scan huge amounts of collected communications intelligence and queue the most interesting information for human analysts to examine. Some U.S. officials said China's investment in artificial intelligence was of little surprise, given its potential to improve analytic assessments. But the Recorded Future report found specific examples of how China could be using large language models and generative AI to not just improve its intelligence analysis, but also help military commanders improve targeting and operational plans. In October, Ordnance Science and Research Academy of China filed a patent application to use various forms of intelligence to train a military model. The application talks about the ways the model could be used, such as by crafting operational plans and helping battlefield intelligence analysts analyze friendly and enemy forces, according to Zoe Haver, the author of the study and a senior threat intelligence analyst at the Insikt Group. "This was very broad ranging and intended to be applicable across the intelligence cycle," Haver said. Over the past two years, China has tightened control over information about what its military and intelligence agencies have obtained. So while Recorded Future was often able to see the military's procurement of generative AI models and servers, it was not always clear how the technology would be used. But some Chinese contractors appeared to have grand ambitions. China's military and intelligence agencies appear to have quickly pivoted from open source and Western AI to DeepSeek, which unveiled a model rivaling OpenAI's model, ChatGPT, the day after Christmas. Global interest in DeepSeek's model exploded in January. By the end of February, military procurement records appeared showing Chinese companies quickly taking up DeepSeek's technology. At the same time, American firms have cracked down on China's use of their models. This month, OpenAI reported that it had disrupted several operations most likely originating in China that had tried to use its artificial intelligence tools in malicious ways. The operations were a combination of influence campaigns and surveillance, according to OpenAI. One of them tried to use ChatGPT to generate comments on social media sites about the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development. To train a model to provide meaningful insight on intelligence, a government needs to give it access to its intelligence data, which can be difficult while still keeping classified material secure. Chinese intelligence products are often infused with the ideology of the ruling Communist Party. Haver said a model trained on such reports would produce intelligence biased in the same way. But whether the Chinese government sees that as a problem is another question. "Some Chinese public security researchers are talking about ChatGPT being used for intelligence," Haver said. "And they are worried about how objectivity, neutrality, neoliberalism and capitalistic values could infiltrate Chinese intelligence work if they use foreign models."
